2,2-Difluoro-13,14-dihydro-PGE1 analogs

ABSTRACT

2,2-Difluoro prostaglandin E, F.sub.α, F.sub.β, A, and B analogs are disclosed with intermediates and with processes for making them. These compounds differ from the prostaglandins in that they have two fluoro atoms at the C-2 position in place of the two hydrogen atoms at C-2 in the prostaglandins. These compounds are useful for a variety of pharmacological purposes, including antiulcer, inhibition of platelet aggregation, increase in nasal patency, labor induction at term, and wound healing.

The present application is a divisional application of Ser. No. 552,708, filed Feb. 25, 1975, now issued as U.S. Pat. No. 4,001,300, on Jan. 4, 1977.

The present invention relates to prostaglandin analogs for which the essential material constituting a disclosure therefor is incorporated by reference here from U.S. Pat. No. 4,001,300, issued Jan. 4, 1977.
